You're right about Team Pastit, Tim, but it was late last year that Robin past away, shortly after competing at the TT at the age of , I believe, 76, with his young wife Annette (63) as passenger. She was competing again this year, and the Team Pastit outfit has been sold on to a new pairing, who have renamed the outfit "Team Pastit-on"!

Robin was an Inspiration to many thats for sure and one of the nicest men you could wish to meet a man I was proud to call a friend , he came and marshaled with me at Mount side at the Cock-o -the - north meeting and he made the day one of the best days that I ever had at Scarborough he was such fun to be with we just hit it off one of those people that you feel a bond with from that first hand shake to the day you hear of that sad news you will never meet again but you know you will carry with you for ever those cherished memories of the time you spent together , and as for our Annette she is such a lovely lady , and is still finding it hard with out him , but she has many friends all there for her
